WORKSHOP TESTIMONIALS
Toni Ware
Managing Director, Aware Consulting
“Lily is a professional. Her techniques are honed from years of experience. She is down to earth, warm and welcoming.
Her program, focussed on helping individual clients and corporate teams to enhance how they present to their clients and colleagues, is highly recommended.”

“Wow hasn’t the professional and business landscape changed dramatically in recent times. Now, more than ever before, we are conducting business in a virtual space. With this change we are seeing newer industries and concepts coming into the marketplace. Nothing can be truer than learning about ‘tricks of the trade’ behind the camera to maintain professionalism in front of the camera. I had the pleasure of meeting, and learning from, Lily at a professional development workshop. I did not realise just how much there was to know about lighting set up, clothing options, grooming tips, and yes, even for us males, learning how makeup can improve the way we look on camera. Being relatively new to working in a virtual space, I found Lily’s teachings gave me extra confidence when interacting with colleagues and clients on Webinars, Zoom Calls and Teams meetings. As I am a professional, I would like to think that I take the same attitude into my work, be it face to face with a client or on screen. Lily has certainly helped me ensure that I am looking my best, and feeling my best, and that I am working at my best.”

“I have just completed my two hour personal zoom group training for camera-ready makeup and professional presentation to take me to the next level when conducting my client meetings via Zoom. Lily Fontana has designed this tailor-made professional presentation and makeup workshop, shared through the Zoom online platform. Lily has 20 years of experience in commercial makeup and corporate styling and has worked with some very well-known brands, so she knows her stuff. Lily demonstrates and guide you through how to apply their own makeup using simple and effective techniques, lighting tips and building confidence in their personal presentation appearing on video calls in work meetings or important client conference calls/interviews. It’s super fun and engaging and I highly recommend it if you want to look your best at your next online meeting.

“Lily’s online workshop was exceptional. Super helpful and I learnt so much – I couldn’t wait to get on my next Zoom call and look like a million bucks! She’s an amazing makeup artist and also a fantastic instructor. Highly recommended!”

Leadership & Culture Expert Director, Metamorph Co
“I was fortunate to get the opportunity recently to participate an online Professional Presentation workshop with Lily Fontana. It was time very well spent. I was surprised by how much I learnt and also how effectively it translated into a virtual environment. Lily has amazing skills and experience in personal presentation and her reputation preceded her, but I learned she is also a highly effective communicator and a trainer as well. It was fun but focussed, creative but concise, direct but with heart, and with a strong business purpose. I would highly recommend.”
Alison Skate
Coaching Associate, ALCHEMY Career Management
“I was so glad I took some time to attend this workshop. At 47 years of age that I didn't think there would be much more to learn about makeup,
but Lily walked us through so many aspects of presenting ourselves professionally on screen - and so much of my work life is moving into the virtual space at the moment. Lily actually walks you through the process with your own tools, showing you how to make the most of them. This would even be valuable for men wanting to put their best face forward. This was phenomenal, and with an industry expert as your teacher rather than an Instagram influencer, this is highly recommended.”
Kym Vercoe
General Manager, Engine Group
“Really enjoyed the Professional Presentation Workshop with Lily. Simple explanations, great tutoring.
Can’t believe I’ve never done this before. Highly recommend this if you are looking at reviving your corporate (and frankly day to day) image.

“Today’s Professional Presentation and Makeup Workshop with Lily Fontana was such a boost to my confidence and overall feeling of wellbeing in front of the camera. I know we are just talking to a computer camera…. But when you are having to step outside your comfort zone using new technology to interact with your fellow work colleagues and important clients, it makes all the difference when you know with certainty that you are looking your best. Lily does a fantastic job succinctly coaching the strategies for us to easily implement. Including such things a room set-up for achieving the best back drop to ensure you’re the main focus on the screen, how to achieve the most flattering lighting and makeup tips ensuring you are prepared and ready to meet with clients and colleagues with professionalism and confidence to get the job. Plus it was fun and I got to some great ME time…. A little pampering goes a long way, especially in times like these.”

“Lily, sending you a big virtual hug for the fantastic Professional Presentation and Makeup Workshop I did with you during Covid-19.
I learned some amazing tips that I have been using for my online meetings and doing my own makeup.
I also loved the advice you gave about products we already had in our makeup kits at home and suggested ideas and alternatives.
It was all so practical and easy to do – love your work.”
Lael Harris

“I attended an online make up course with Lily recently and I learned a lot! How to look better in online meetings, lighting and some great make up tips and tricks. It was fun, informative and Lily really put me at ease. I'd definitely recommend it!”
Monique Gastaldin
Environmental Management Lead, Water Utility Logan City Council
“This was such a useful and practical workshop which proved to be excellent timing as I was just heading into a world of online work meetings. We got handy tips on making our online meeting environment and lighting more effective and how to tailor our makeup to this unique platform. I loved the way Lily's advice was so personalised. She gave tips, hints and comments on our individual make-up techniques and the close-up nature of the online platforms allowed her to give really clear guidance to what we were doing. Not only did she help us to use what products and accessories we already had on hand to the best advantage, she also had lots of great individualised product recommendations and followed these up with links to help direct us to where to get them. I'd really recommend you get a few friends together and do this workshop because it was not only helpful but also lots of fun. Thanks Lily.”

Very well executed presentation! I was very engaged with the content and the speaker. I found it to be relevant and potentially beneficial to my day-to-day professional lifestyle and can’t wait to put all of these things into practice from now on. I could tell Lily has a genuine interest and passion in this field and it really shines through the moment she begins. Thank you for your time today!!!

Really helpful and insightful as I have no experience in online meetings so there were a lot of factors to consider. Lily was nice and personable, so made the workshop easy and engaging. Made me realize that we are doing our best and to stress less. Thank you, it really helped me through a stressful day!
